O Canada... Happy Birthday

Andy | Monday, July 01, 2019 | Best Blogger Tips
Canada Day has been called a few names in the past. It used to be known as Dominion Day, the First of July, Confederation Day and July the First. Canada wasn't REALLY "born" on July 1st, but the holiday celebrates the events that took place on this day. On July 1, 1867, the British North America Act created the Canadian federal government. This act stated that Canada would become an "independent dominion" (territory) of England, which is why Canada Day was originally called Dominion Day. In 1982, Dominion Day changed to Canada Day after a vote in Parliament. Not everyone was happy about this change. Some people felt that a 115-year-old part of Canadian heritage was lost. But, the new name stuck and every July 1, Canadians celebrate Canada Day as a national holiday.

    I prefer Canada Day. We moved far away from British influence.

    Beautiful portrait ! There are pros and cons, but it makes it possible to federate the anglophone population...
